Abstract
AbstractThis investigation focuses on the influence of thermal radiation on the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Williamson nanofluid over a stretching sheet with chemical reaction. The phenomena at the stretching wall assume convective heat and mass exchange. The novelty of the present study is the thermodynamic analysis in the nonlinear convective flow of a Williamson nanofluid. The resulting set of the differential equations are solved by the homotopy analysis method. We explored the impacts of the emerging parameters on flow, heat, and mass characteristics, including the rate of entropy generation and the Bejan number through graphs, and extensive discussions are provided. The expressions for skin friction, Nusselt and the Sherwood numbers are also analyzed and explored through tables. It is concluded that the rate of mass transfer may be maximized with the variation of the Williamson and chemical reaction parameters. Moreover, the entropy generation rate and the Bejan number are augmented via increasing the Williamson parameter.
